My father's story is so amazing that he wrote a book about his war experiences that will be republished next year, hopefully for Anzac Day. The forward to his book says: "A gripping, true story of one man's harrowing and courageous experience as a WWII flyer with Bomber Command. Shot down over Germany on Christmas Eve 1944, his chances of survival were less than in the trenches of WWI. Between 1939-1945, 55,573 young Bomber Command Airmen sacrificed their lives in the war torn skies over Europe. This is the story of one, who eventually made it home."
